Video Game Reviewer & New Parent Reflects on the First Weeks of Parenting

Video game reviewer (and commentary guy) Gus Mastrapa just welcomed his first son into his home a couple of weeks ago. Naturally, as a video game guy, your first thought is “this life is over.” But, as Mastrapa finds out, having a newborn is a great time for gaming, even if you don’t know what the future holds.

“I imagined a life without videogames and metal shows,” says Mastrapa in his Unwinnable piece (linked below). “I tried to imagine how I’d fit into that kind of life, not because I thought that all of those things would be gone from my life with the arrival of my new offspring, but because I had, and still do, have a hard time imagining the degree to which my life would change.”
